I bought this with the intention to replace foundation and sunscreen for taking on and off face masks. I moisturized as usual (essence, toner, cream). The tint was dark enough to completely get all over my mask. I am on tretinoin, and unfortunately this created dry patches and totally dried up my skin, exacerbating all my texture problems. I used a normal amount (like I do with sunscreen) and found a little went a long way. Perhaps that was the reason for my negative experience, but using it sparingly does not give me confidence that my skin is being protected by the SPF. I will go back to using a separate sunscreen, and put this one last. However, I was hoping to just eliminate this extra step.
